Music queen, Rihanna is the latest star to grace the cover of British Vogue, the May 2020 issue, and as expected she looks absolutely amazing.

In addition to the photos, Rihanna spoke to the magazine about a wide range of subjects including her new album, expanding the Fenty brand into skincare, and her future plans to have lots of children.

Check out a few excerpts from her interview below:

On making new music, she said:

I can’t say when I’m going to drop, but I am very aggressively working on music. I don’t want my albums to feel like themes. There are no rules. There’s no format. There’s just good music, and if I feel it, I’m putting it out.

When asked if it will be a reggae album, Rihanna replies

That is happening. I feel like I have no boundaries. I’ve done everything, I’ve done all the hits, I’ve tried every genre now I’m just, I’m wide open. I can make anything that I want.

On building a family she says:

I’m working like this now so that I don’t have to in the future. I know I will want to live differently.

When asked where she sees herself in 10 years, she says, in a distinctively Bajan tone of disbelief:

Ten years? I’ll be 42! I’ll be ancient. I’ll have kids three or four of ’em.

I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong…’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives. But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.

Hilda Baci Responds To Allegations By VeryDarkMan | Fab.ng

A social media influencer named VeryDarkMan accused Nigerian chef Hilda Baci of scamming people who paid for her online cooking class but never received access.

Hilda Baci, who holds a Guinness World Record, isn’t taking these claims lightly. On April 23rd, 2024, she fought back against the accusations. Baci posted a screen recording of her online cooking class in action. The video showed activity within the online platform, including new students joining, media being shared, and overall engagement—all evidence to counter the claims that the class wasn’t happening.

Her caption read, “5880 active students, 156 recipes already posted, comprehensive editing class done, plating class done, official assignment given. LOL.”

Social media influencer VeryDarkMan didn’t hold back in his accusations. He went even further, suggesting this might be a criminal offence, specifically “obtaining money under false pretences.” This means VeryDarkMan believes Baci took people’s money with the promise of a class but didn’t deliver.

He said,

“Hilda Baci, you have worked so hard for your brand but it’s as though you’re trying to spoil the reputation of your brand. What you’re doing now is giving ‘Obtaining under false pretense’ which is fraud, by the way. You can’t collect money from a lot of people for something and then not do it and you’re not even addressing it.”

“You collected money for an online cooking class which was meant to start on the 22nd. But on the 22nd you didn’t start. You posted that registration closed on the 28th of March and since then you’ve been quiet. Don’t you see all the women complaining in the comment section? This is giving fraud. You can’t collect money from people and just ghost them,” he added.
